Hi Kingfisher
When ever I have had a serious question to ask I have always had plenty of good helpful answers to them.
Same here.
It's where things are leading when looked at as a whole.
A simple topic about petrol.....
Also, I get fed up of having to wade through piles of cr*p.
It's not a case of lightening up. And what does 'what's my problem' actually mean?
It's a case of idiots who think they are funny but who are clicky. There's plenty of forums that come and go. Most die from the fact that a few do all the in house chatting.
Read some of my past and current postings to see if I have a sense of humour or not. Or need lightening up or not.
I think the cost of petrol is linked to window cleaning. Unless you ride a bike and then it's the cost of weet a bix. What do you put in you vehicle?
Friendly banter is fine. It's places a human side to what would be a boring business only forum.
Those clicky clicky in stuff chat - that will destroy this forum. It has done countless others because after a while - they become the only ones replying. If a topic end ups jokey jokey jokey with the same few joking, then others loose interest.
If a subject soon degererates into a chance for a laugh by the 'in' few, then others both bother to read them. The seriousness, for want of a better word, gets lost and the real subject gets sold down the river.
Bit by bit, that forum then loses it's purpose and the sponsors pull out.
I'm for a mix of fun and serious. When the same people grab the chance and turn so many postings into what ever, then what's the point.
Some replies to postings are now drivvle. Dull and boring.
As for 'what's my problem'? You know nothing about me and that is designed as a put down. It assumes I have a problem and that the problem matters to me.
The thing about 'lighten up a bit' - you know nothing about me or my life or whether or not I need lightening up or not.
What happens when you walk into a pub you don't like and why don't you like it? What if your local was fine and then it gets full up of kids? Analogies are fine when they say what you want them to say but suppose they then sing a different tune?
Do you still agree? Or is whatever happens ok?
Cheers
